The recital hall was packed and Mr. Roosevelt's address, as well as that of H. H. Kohl saat, president of the day, were received with great applause.

After some patriotic music Mr. Kohlsaat spoke. Mr. Roosevelt, who followed, was received with great enthusiasm. He spoke as follows: "Among the great men of all time the very few who were the greatest of tho great have necessarily been both statesmen and soldiers; for it is In statescraft and warcraft, the two arts through which commonwealths are founded, governed, defended and perpetuated Chat the ability of the mightiest leaders of mankind has In the past found and for long in the future, must continue to find its greatest expression.

He referred to the greatness of Washington and offered a toast to the fattier of his country. Introducing Mrs. Earle.

Mr. McKeen proposed a toast in her honor. Mrs. Earl? thanked the club in a brief speech, in which she said that she hoped the Hamilton chapter, when formed, would be able to reciprocate the hospitality of the evening. Mr.

McKecn then called upon John flamp I den Dougherty, as a man with Puritanical 1 and colonial name, to add to the remarks, that were so unfortunately brief, of the Daughters of the Revolution. Mr. Dougherty answered in a liglu vein, snyiroj among other i things, that he would think Brooklyn to be one of the daughters of the revolution, ex cept that she was a little too young too young in fact to think of matrimony.

She ran into the hallway and screamed at the top of her voice. Most of the tenants were aroused, but the Are had gained such headway and the hallway in the lower part of the house was so filled with smoke that way of escape by way of the front of the house was cut oft.

Two ladders were run up, but they were short of reaching the fourth floor, where Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. King were seated on the windows edge, screaming at the top of their voices. Fireman Emanuel Garcia scaled one of the ladders and Martin Coleman, another fireman, scaled the other. Garcia got to the top of the ladder and shouted for Mrs.

King to let herself drop and that ha would catch her. She refused at first to do so, but finally let herself down and the fireman caught her. She was half way down the ladder to the street when she slipped and slid down the rest of the way. She was burned about the store, at 132 Forrest street, and asked Mr. Hartmann for a quarter pound of salts.The druggist readily put up the package and Bern heim returned to his home.

Mrs. Bernhelm took half the contents of the package and after turning It into a glass of water gave it to her husband to drink. Bernhelm drank the mixture and then tasted, of what remained in the package. "That doesn't taste like salts," he said to his wife. "I believe Hartmann has made a mistake." Bernheim's nephew ran over to the drug store and questioned the druggist.

Hartmann went back of the counter and then shouted: "My God, I gave Bernheim oxalic acid. Has he taken it yet?" When assured that Bernheim bad half the contents of the package, the druggist ran out of the store and down the street toward house. When he reached there he was surprised to see that his customer was alive and walking around just as if he had not taken the two ounces of poison. Hartman made Bernhelm drink six glasses of soap water and then telephoned for an ambulance. Dr.

Koethe of Broadway and Flushing avenue was also summoned, and within half an hour they had Bernheim so cause it belonged to him he had a right to injure the tree with it? There are people in whom th arrogance of possession engender. a feeling or claim of right wantonly to injure the property of others.

The fact that it was his hatchet, and his little hatchet, really furnished no excuse for what he did.

You may say that in these cases the end justifies the means, but that is a sophistical contention which should not be urged on behalf cf a national ideal.

The moral integrity of your Ideal must have no holes in it. The homage with which you drape him must not be a thing of shreds and patches. The end and the means should match. The end or object of Washington at Trenton, Princeton. Monmouth and Ycrktown was freedom or liberty.

He did not, however, give to the gentlemen who opposed him at those places the benefits birthday of Washington and the of February, a day beloved by the fair women present. He thought it pleasant that the Republican Union League club should be so kindly welcomed by the old patriotic and literary club, the Hamilton. It as much more pleaa anit, he said, to he loved and know it before death than afterward. It was more agreeable to have a little taffy during life than a heap of epitaphy afterward. He thought it fortunate that Washington should have been the man he was at his time.

Born cf most aristocratic parents and educated in patrician ways he was better fitted to lead the hosts cf neither a statesman nor a warrior. But such a time is long ages distant. As yet life is strife and every man who succeeds and who does good to his fellows can only succeed and can only do good by striving mightily and by holding his own with a ready hand in the war for righteousness. And yet we need wise laws well administered to "keep the wicked in check and to prevent the wreck of decent men and yet we need, as every nation needs, to stand ready to defend our honor and our interest with the sword if we are to occupy a place of note in the world; and to do our work well in that grim and painful, but necessary struggle, through which ail of us, Individuals and nations alike, are moving slowly forward toward the unknown goal which tho future clouds from the most far sighted.

February 22 It can be stated positively that there has not been any official communication between Sir Julian Pauncefete, the British ambassador here, and Senor Andrade, the Venezuelan minister, in reference to the boundary controversy ur any other subject. Socially they are on good terms, but officially there has been no communication between the British embassy and the Venezuelan legation in Washington for the past eleven years or since the British minister at Caracas was given his passports and the Venezuelan minister in London was withdrawn. Therefore it is stated that the publications in London to the effect that these representatives have been brought into communication officially are at least premature.

The Lotos has no politics, no creeds and no dogma. It stands for the catholicity of brains and the universality of good fellowship. It is a citizen of the world and claims fellowship with men and women of every race and nation who possess these qualities. (Applause.) Provincialism and isolation from the world produce magnificent enthusiasm. The effort of higher civilization and universal knowledge Is to repress it.

Enthusiasm is like the thunder and the lightning which clears the atmosphere and gives new vigor to life. In lamenting the disappearance of its manifestations 1 often wonder if the passiun is lost. We have all of us been carried along on the waves of emotion which after the end of the civil strife swept against the unmoved and immovable figure of General Grant. (Applause.) But where are our enthusiasms of to day? We are in the presidential year, the year of all others for idols and idol worship, the year when the politician becomes a statesman and the statesman endowed in the popular imagination with supreme qualities, and yet the American people are calmly analyzing instead ot frescoing; they are doubting instead of accepting without question as prophet, sage, leader and saviour a chosen favorite and they are subjecting them all zo the frightful processes of the cathode rays. All of these are unquestionably the result of meTe universal education, of the universal reading of the newspapers and of electric touch day by day with all the world.

The committee tooupbt I was evasive and I thought so myself. Finally I concluded that if I came here to night and was called on. I would get up and think out loud for a few minutes, provided you should all keep properly quiet, and not disturb my soliliquy.

When I asked Mr. McKcon what I should talk about he went through a singular medley of pantomime, shouting and dancing, in which the most extravagant forms of a Virginia reel, and Irish jig and a plantation breakdown were up with some sort of mystical declaration of first in war. first in peace and first, in the hearts of bis countrymen, succeeded b.v the resonant drumming of his considerable feet on the floor. 1 thon inferrp'l that he wanted mo to talk about Ger.rg Washington, and I felt a doridod hesitation MAYOR QUINCY OF BOSTON PROPOSED HIM AT A BANQUET.

Never slDce the creation of man were two human beings so unlike, so nearly the extremes of opposition to each other as Washington and Lincoln. The one an aristocrat by birth, by breeding and association, the other in every sense and by every' surrounding a democrat. As the richest man in America, a large slaveholder, the possessor of an enormous landed estate and the leader and representative of the property, the culture and the colleges of the colonial period, Washington stood for the conservation and preservation of law and order.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In reading the Eagle of even date see an article upon the "Municipal Ownership of Dry Docks," stating that Mr.

W. N. Dykman, In the interest of the Brie basin people (or the dry dock trust) Is strenuously endeavoring to convince Mayor Strong of New York of what he believes to be the Infeasl bleness of the city to build and operate a dry dock large enough to accommodate the largest steamship that now enters our port, or is liable to for some years to come, based upon their probable tonnage. Any one can detect In the above mentioned article before reading very far Just what it Is that Is troubling the trust, and as Mr. Dykman says.

Mayor Strong assured him that he would Investigate the subject, you can rest' ausured that after the mayor has finished with his pumping of questions, the answers to which Mr. Dykman so generously gave, it will be seen that u.t the bottom of the trust's arguments, suflicient reasons, Wiethe municipal government should own and operate what Mayor Strong advocates.

And there are others. Indeed. according to rhe new gospel which preaches that you should be the friend of ail countries buc your own. Washington didn't amount to much. He was phlegmatic ally and unchangeably addicted to a preference for his own country over that of others.

There were absolutely some things which he refused to put out to arbitration. The wrongfulness of taxation without representation was one of them. The right of men to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was another. The claim that those colonics are and of ri'ht oinrh: to be free and independent states was still another. He resisted a tax which was not even levied on the gr ur.d that the claim to levy it was outrage, He resisted a stamp act which was virtually suspended on the ground that the a'serti' of a right to impose it was monstrous.

He upheld the throwing over of tea in B. stn harbor, notwithstanding that onlv a few pounds were thrown overb ard.

Williamstown. February 22 Hanford Weiner Edson, instructor of rhethoTic and elocution at William's college, has become insane. He accepted the professorship of mathematics at Roberts eolleg, Constantinople, remaining there until the Summer of '93 when he returned to Williams. When in Constantin ple he had an attack of typhoid fever. This with overstudy is thought to have brought on insanity.

Fears are expressed that the case is incuralile. a revolutionist and pledge his life and fortune and honor for the principles which, in his judgment, safeguarded the rights and liberties of his country. But in the construction of the republic and in the formation of its institutions and in the critical period of experiment, until they could get in working order, he gave to thpm and implanted in them con servative elements which are found in no other system of government. And yet, millionaire, slaveholder and aristocrat In its best sense that he was, as he lived so at any time he would have died for the immortal principle Governor Hastings presided. He was attend ed by the officers of his staff in uniform put by the Puritans in their charter adopted in the cabin of the Mayflower and re iaro ed in the Declaration of Independence, of the Many officers of the regular army and navy were present in uniform.

Men prominent in civil life were conspicuous in the throng and the auditorium was packed with people who cheered the patriotic speeches. The university students assembled in the corridor and marched from the stage to the parquet and parquet circle. Governor Hastings, Provost Harris, Mayor Warwick and the trustees and faculty assembled in the foyer and marched to the stage. Bishop Foss opened the ceremonies with prayer. The principal address was by Hampton L.

Carson of Philadelphia, one of the foremost orators In the state. then Immediately raised the tariff for dry docking from SO to 100 per cent, more than before, thereby about doubling the charges. Why is it that Mr. Dykman feels so anxious about New York city's business Investments, and rushes over to Inform the mayor why he should not have the city enter into a scheme to loee money? He may also say that the city has not the right to enter Into any such enterprise, tor by so doing It Is hurting their business. That Is right about Injuring their business, for the city would do the work at a nominal figure, which would also allow them a fair profit, and just as long a ship owners found that they could thUB be accommodated the syndicate eould not very well expect to And much work for Ihelr hlgh priced docks, so therefore would be obliged to do so.

iluo is not because I have anv prejudice against him. Our relations bav'e always been frh'tidly. We wore never intimate, hut I havf just as much reas to believe that he thinks well or mc as I have to know that I think well of him. We are both independents. ui what he could to achieve indenend' nce 010! I have what I could to enforce it.

There are still oilier reasons whv Mr. Washington and I ouiilit to be friends. He could not tell a lie. it was a case of sheer inability. Now I could, but 1 wouldn't.

621. MURDER AND SUICIDE San Francisco, February 22 Another murder in the so called tenderloin section of Morton street, has, caused great excitement in that quarter. The bodies of May Con boy and an unknown man were found on the woman's bed this afternoon, each with a bullet In the head. The man had undoubtedly killed the woman and then suicide for In his hand was a revolver with two empty chambers. In many of the churches, public schools equality 01 all men before the law and of the equal opportunity for all to rise.

Lincoln, on the other hand, was born in a cabin, among thai class knoWn as poor whites in slavehohiing times who held no position and whose condition was so hopeless as to paralyze ambition and effort. His situation so far as his surroundings were concerned, had considerable mentai, but little moral improvement by the removal to Indiana and subsequently to Illinois.

Whereas, If this iwrt had the facilities for handling vessels of that size we could have the job, and I guess that the steamship people would not object, for It would save the steaming South. Mayor Strong's plan then again would prove of great commercial benefit, and show its superiority over private control, by the syndlcato being unable to purchase It and include it In with the rest. If a new set of dry docks were to be constructed by a company not at all Interested In the trust It would only be. a matter of time before they would sell out or combine, by entering the syndicate, because the syndicate would hold out such tempting Inability, pure and sho.i ie.
